Concerts in the Park

For the month of July there will be concerts every Friday night in downtown Bowling Green. The Concert in the Park series has been going on for years and it is a great opportunity to sit out some chairs, enjoy the weather, and mingle with hundreds of folks. It is also pretty customary to see local leaders talking to voters. Our goal is to purchase a banner so that Young Republicans are easy to spot out on the lawn (hopefully this will be soon).

Friday night concerts are 6:30-9:00 for the Downtown Square and 7:30-10:00 for Circus Square Park just around the corner. The following groups are playing:

July 10
Tyrone Dunn Experiment
Blue Light Special

July 17
Black Velvet
Ernie Small Blues Band

July 24
Second Nature
Interface

July 31
Lead Based Paint
Exit 4

August 07
Andrea Tonaro and the Ghost Riders
Skip Bond and the Fugitives

The final concert of the year will be August 07. This is usually the best show of the year because Skip Bond and the Fugitives play at 7:30 over at Circus Square Park. Get out and see Representative Jim DeCesare rock out the drums!

July Meeting has been cancelled

Due to many members telling us they would be out of town and would not be at the meeting, we have decided to cancel it altogether. At this time we do not have anything time-sensitive to discuss at our monthly meeting and we do not want to waste your time with a meeting for no reason.

Thank you for your continued support of the Young Republicans and we look forward to seeing you all on August 6. Tell your friends about our organization! Sphere: Related Content

July Meeting Postponed

In celebration of Independence Day, we are pushing back the meeting one week to July 9th. This should give each of your an opportunity to enjoy the holiday and remember why our great country was started. Our civil liberties continue to be taken away from us and we take a step toward government dependence every day.

Mandatory health insurance will decrease our quality of health care and increase the cost for all. In fact, the government is planning on starting their own insurance company to compete with the private sector. Kiss your hard-earned tax dollars good bye. The American Clean Energy and Security Act just passed the House and is making its way to the Senate. Besides increasing the cost of energy all around, it will also send even more of our jobs over seas. How can the US compete with nations that don't have all of these ridiculous regulations to slow them down?

Please continue to support the Young Republicans and make your presence felt at the July meeting. See you all on July 9th at 6 p.m. at Smokey Bones. Sphere: Related Content

Call Rep. Guthrie and tell him NO to Cap and Trade

Legislative sources on the Hill have stated that a vote on "Cap-and-Trade" (Cap-and-Tax) is likely to come around 5 pm eastern today.

Once again, most legislators have no idea what is in the 1,201 page bill about to be put up for final vote.

Passing Cap-and-Trade is a very high priority for the Obama administration, but a procedural vote earlier this morning only produced a 217-205 favorable result. This very tight margin proves your calls and emails are having an impact.

Now is the time to turn up the pressure. Call your representative, Brett Guthrie, at (202) 225-3501 immediately and urge him to vote against this latest tax scheme. (American families could end up paying several thousand dollars a year in higher energy bills as a result of HR 2454.)

Make sure Representative Brett Guthrie at (202) 225-3501 hears from you!

Because 1,200 unread pages just isn't enough, Energy and Commerce Chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA) rammed through another 300 pages in the form of a manager's amendment at 3am this morning.

Have any members of Congress been given the proper amount of time to read through this amendment, much less take the time to properly analyze its impacts? And what about the bill itself, which ballooned to 1,200 pages earlier this week?

It would appear that Nancy Pelosi and Chairman Waxman, who have been strong arming other moderate Democrats into supporting the bill, simply don't want to give members of Congress time to understand what they will be voting on.
